Color blindness is not colorblind, as it appears to afflict Caucasian boys at three times the rate of African-American boys, according to a new study.

Among children 37 to 72 months of age, a total of 5.6% of Caucasian boys had color blindness compared with 1.6% of African-American boys, reported Rohit Varma, MD, MPH, of the University of Illinois at Chicago, and colleagues.
